New Boutique

We are starting to apply at various venues for spring and summer to sell our jewelry. Several are in the works and we will post them as soon as it is official.

We are, however,  happy to announce that we will be a vendor at the Hill Air Force Base Spring Officers' Spouses boutique!  It will be held March 18th from 9am until 6pm.  If you have access to the base, we hope you stop by the Officer's Club banquet room and tell us hello. 

We were a vendor last fall and had a fabulous time after we got on base.  We were stuck at the entrance gate for about an hour as the gate personnel received the paper work to give Rene access, but not me.  They didn't accept my US passport as a valid ID.  What?? I just had to roll my eyes at that one. Luckely, I had my driver's license and they accepted that for my ID.  Shouldn't a federal government agency, such as the Air Force, accept the federal ID, as in my passport??

Anyway, we hope to see you there!

New Place to See Us!

We are so excited to announce that you can now find some of the Galleon's Gold jewelry at the Borrowed Earth Emporium (the BEE) located at 2242 Washington Blvd in downtown Ogden!  We have necklaces made of stones, gold and silver, a painted silver platter, a chess set, silver rings, 18k gold rings with Colombian emeralds and more.  It is a fun sampling of what Rene makes.

Have you ever been to 'the BEE? Yes?? No??? Oh, if you haven't, you are missing out and should check it out. It is one of my favorite places in Ogden!  They have yummy treats 'n drinks, crepes, an assortment of local artists selling their wares, yoga classes, open mike night, Green Roof Utah, massages and more---just a fun assortment.

Collections


We have added some pictures to our collections page.  Our goal is to have a page representing the different work Rene does--a little of this and a little of that! He makes so many pretty things, and I love to show off his work-----but the process gets bogged down at my end---

I know, I know I have said it before, but truely, the taking ofgood digital pictures and transfering them to the web is a perpetual challange for me. I keep thinking one of these days I will develop the skills and one of these days I will have more time to work it out, but alas, the skill is slow in coming and time, will extra time elludes me.  I often think of Benjamin Franklin's quote on time (that is also in my favorite all time movie, Gone With the Wind), "Do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of."  

Do I squander time? I like to think not...but oh!  I am rambling again. Anyway-------


Please click here to see our "Collections Page." 


Enjoy!
